"2025 proved to be the year of going all in - aka fully embracing the drama that comes with monochromatic, color-drenched spaces. Whether it was double-drenching rooms (where you paint all available spaces in two or more related shades) or wood-drenching (using wood everywhere), it's safe to say that homeowners and designers alike were drenching their spaces. And I couldn't be happier."
"I love the cocooning feeling that color-drenching a room brings; IMO it feels like a warm hug and a safe space. I'm not the only one who feels this way. Several House Tour participants completely covered their rooms in striking shades. So much so that the trend doesn't seem to be going anywhere in the new year, according to the 140 designers interviewed for Apartment Therapy's State of Home Design (SOHD)."
"Designers told Apartment Therapy editors that "Rich nature- and food-inspired neutrals are still soaring in popularity, and color drenching will continue to bring drama to walls, trimwork, and ceilings," the SOHD report explains. If you want to get in on the trend (which might end up being a timeless design choice), you're not too late! Find inspiration through these real homes to color-drench your space."
2025 saw a surge in monochromatic, color-drenched interiors, including double-drenching and wood-drenching techniques. Homeowners and designers covered walls, trimwork, ceilings, and sometimes wood surfaces in coordinated or related shades to create cohesive, immersive rooms. The effect produces a cocooning, hug-like atmosphere that feels safe and intimate. Rich nature- and food-inspired neutrals rose in popularity and continue to add drama to interiors. A survey of 140 designers indicated the trend's persistence into the new year. Real-home examples offer inspiration for adopting color-drenching, which may become a timeless design choice.
